I think we can rule out toxicology here, as Honey Locusts show no signs of toxicity, and only the seeds of the Black Locust are dangerous. So I'm guessing you have a piece of the thorn still in your finger, and it's acting as an irritant. There is also the chance of an infection. If it weren't near a joint I'd say treat the infection, and see if it dissolves or expresses out, as splinters are wont to do. But near a joint, there's the potential for damaging the joint. Try soaking the finger in warm, soapy water for about 20-30 minutes, not only to clean it but also to soften the skin. Then, with a sterilized needle, tweezers, alcohol (not for the wound -- to disinfect the equipment and the skin before you explore) and a magnifying glass, see if you can find the entry channel, and follow it down. Don't go overboard and hack a gaping crater in your finger -- the ideal here is to be extremely gentle and also persistent. If you can find and remove the splinter, hit it with hydrogen peroxide, bandage, and watch it heal. If you can't find the thorn, or can't get all of it out, an X-ray and a man with a scalpel (and a license to practice medicine) is called for. My concern here is that, if the shard works its way into the joint, you may wind up having problems with that joint for some time to come, so I don't think you have the luxury of waiting this one out.

I'm not sure why there would be - I think anyone can get it. I had it at age 47 and it lasted for a year.

Make sure you have a will and take care of the kids. But if you are legally married, there are specific rules to insure that she is not left destitute. Consult an estate planning attorney in your state to learn what the details are.

It could probably be Herpes or just razor bump.

You can treat thin skin by applying moisturizers to the affected areas. Some dietary supplements, such as fish oil and flax seed, also help treat thin skin.

The answer is "it depends". First, local codes may influence your decision. Here in Florida it is possible to shingle-over three tab shingles if the local code inspectors provide a visual inspection that determines the shingles are in 'good enough' condition to form a secondary underlayment to the new roof. Basically, this logic should guide you where there are no code issues. If the old shingles are in good shape then I'd say OKAY to shingle over. Use longer roofing nails, you can use a titanium film, and nail it all down like crazy. But in reality, why would you want to shingle over vs. clean off the deck, apply peal and stick underlayment, and new shingles? Economics? I'd argue that logic will cost you money down the road after letting you just get by. If you are a homeowner and if it's your home for the long term... don't be a dummy, pull off the old shingles, tar paper and construct a new roof coating which starts with renailing the deck to trusses (or rafters), apply peal and stick underlayment, new drip edge, and quality shingles (go for 30 to 40 year products).

Don't go cheap... it will come back to bite you. Be sure to replace soft plywood deck material, remove old unused vents, patch with plywood, and replace the ridge vents with a modern counterpart (off ridge or more efficient ridge vent designs). My re-roof project started a month ago. I've rebuilt the fascia/soffit on one side so far, I've got a plan to rebuild the soffit/fascia on the other side with a change to the shape of it (making it straight vs notched), and then tackle the tear off of shingles/paper to rebuild the roof surface. My motivation? It's my home. If I renail, use peal and stick underlayment, and 40 year shingles I'll qualify for an insurance discount of about 40% (500 bucks a year, each year). The insurance discount will payu for half the cost of rebuilding my roof.

Medications include aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for headache and muscle pain , and decongestants to relieve stuffiness or runny nose.

Corns (also called clavi) are specially-shaped calluses of dead skin that usually occur on thin or glabrous (hairless and smooth) skin surfaces, especially on the top of toes or fingers. They can sometimes occur on the thicker palmar or plantar skin surfaces. Corns form when the pressure point against the skin traces an elliptical or semi-elliptical path. The center of which is at the point of pressure, gradually widening. If there is constant stimulation of the tissues producing the corns, even after the corn is removed or the pressure surgically removed, the skin may continue to grow as a corn. The name callum comes from its appearance under the microscope. The hard part at the center of the corn resembles a barley hare, that is, a funnel with a broad raised top and a pointed bottom. "Corn" used to be a generic term for grain, and the name stuck. The scientific name is heloma. Hard corns are called heloma durum, while soft corns are called heloma molle. The place of occurrence differentiates between soft and hard corns. Hard corns occur on dry, flat surfaces of skin. Soft corns (frequently found between two toes) stay moist, keeping the surrounding skin soft. The corn's center is not soft, however.1

Yes, you can. Mononucleosis is commonly called the 'kissing disease', but you don't have to kiss someone in order to get it. It is like any other virus and can be transmitted through any contact with an infected person. You can even get it from someone not showing any symptoms who has had it before, because once you've had mono it stays in your body forever. It can reactivate in someone without any symptoms and be passed to others.

I'm not aware of any evidence that honey and cinnamon prevents acne.

There is, however, a body of respected research that raw (unheated, untreated) honey itself has antibacterial, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties, and these are bound to help with at least some aspects of acne. Do NOT apply cinnamon to your face!!! It has a bad reaction on your face. It will turn your face RED bright RED. I tried it, trust me.

It depends on what type of acne you have on your back and chest - do you have mostly noninflamed bumps or are they red and inflamed?

If they are noninflamed, try a strong exfoliant - use a scrub and strong AHA like glycolic or mandelic.

If they are inflamed use a strong benzoyl peroxide - leave it on all night (but wear a white t-shirt so you don't bleach your pj's or sheets!). Also, consider getting a benzoyl peroxide solution with some sulfur in it - it makes the bpo stronger and more anti-inflammatory. Do NOT use a scrub to cleanse your back if you have this kind of acne.

Check your body soap for pore-clogging ingredients and make sure your laundry soap is fragrance free and has no water-softeners in it. Avoid using fabric softener and/or dryer sheets because they can leave a waxy residue on your clothes and sheets that will exacerbate your acne.

Below is a list of pore-clogging ingredients you should avoid. Good luck!

Could be Folliculitis. I'm not sure though. I live in El Paso, TX; and most of the population is hispanic, and I've noticed on some of my medium to darker friends and family, they have dark spots on their backs and shoulders.

I've been trying to find out what it is all day, that's how i stumbled upon your question. My boyfriend has them, and is very self conscious about it. My best friend also has them, so she always wears shirts that cover her shoulders (no tank tops). Another guy friend of mine has them too.

The spots are not raised and sometimes they peel a little; and sometimes, my boyfriend's start to scab. It's weird. I've been with him for 5 years (living together for 4 years) and have never caught them, so i don't think they're contagious.

The best thing I've come up with so far is Folliculitis, but I'm still looking. I'll post something else if i find more info. This website showed some folliculitis that looks as extreme as my boyfriend's case. http://georgiahealthinfo.gov/cms/node/106096

maybe cuz it kinda does
